Clare Balding found herself saying sorry to BBC One viewers on Tuesday after a rather awkward technical glitch during Wimbledon coverage.
The presenter had to step in when commentator Todd Woodbridge's audio suddenly vanished mid-sentence during the men's semi-final between Novak Djokovic and Felix Auger-Aliassime.
It was all a bit sudden for those watching at home, with Woodbridge's voice simply trailing off into silence.
Balding quickly addressed what had happened, telling viewers: "Apologies if that sounded a little sudden, but coverage is already over on BBC Two because we've got to leave you here on BBC One shortly for the news."

The broadcast then switched channels ahead of the scheduled news bulletin.
The glitch happened just moments after Djokovic had won the fifth game to take a 3-2 lead in the match.
Woodbridge had been waxing lyrical about the Canadian player when everything went quiet.
"We've got two stars out here, haven't we? We've got what Novak has done in the game and his dominance of the game. And then you've got this Canadian, you put him in a black tuxedo, and he looks like he could also be James Bond. He brings an extraordinary athleticism to the game and..." the former Australian tennis star was saying before his voice simply faded away.

Before signing off from BBC One, Balding managed to squeeze in some updates on the day's other action.
She confirmed that Karolina Muchova had beaten Naomi Osaka to reach the Wimbledon semi-finals for the first time in her career.

The Czech player will now face Coco Gauff in the last four, which should be a brilliant match-up.
Balding also let viewers know that Jannik Sinner had made it through to the men's semi-finals.
It's far from the first time the BBC has had to cut away from live tennis at these Championships, with similar interruptions happening just the day before during Alexander Zverev's match against Jiri Lehecka.
